Implement fallback for PyCapsule-backed providers, ensuring type checkers are satisfied without protocol-aware stubs. Update typing imports and cast PyCapsule inputs in AggregateUDF.from_pycapsule for precise constructor typing.
…zation signatures
Introduce a _PyCapsule typing protocol to enable type checkers to recognize PyCapsule-based registrations. Restrict the AggregateUDF udaf overload to the PyCapsule protocol and update from_pycapsule to wrap raw capsule inputs using the internal binding directly.
Introduce a utility to validate PyCapsules and convert them into reusable DataFusion aggregate UDFs. Update PyAggregateUDF.from_pycapsule to handle raw PyCapsule inputs, leverage the new helper, and maintain existing provider fallback and error handling.

Which issue does this PR close?
udaffunction #1237Rationale for this change
The current
AggregateUDF.udafandAggregateUDF.from_pycapsulemethods in the DataFusion Python API lack proper type hinting and handling for CPythonPyCapsuleobjects. This omission causes static type checking tools (e.g., mypy) to fail when users register UDAFs originating from external providers such asgeodatafusion, even though the runtime behavior functions correctly.This PR addresses the gap by explicitly supporting PyCapsule types both in type hints and runtime checks. By doing so, it improves type safety, developer experience, and code clarity while maintaining full backward compatibility.
